fuel system upgrade question

I have the TD extreme kit that comes with two extra injectors and controll unit so I don't need to get bigger ones. I want to be able to run 16 psi. I know the stock fuel pump will never handle that so what should I do. I was thinking of doing something like the SF kit did with an inline pump and FMU and Vafc. But one problem. If the inline pump just ups pressure to the fmu then won't it eventually just out pump the stock one and try to take fuel That is just not there. I really need help with this cause I have all the internals now just waiting to go in and I just need to get the fuel setup worked out.

You will probably be better off converting to a return fuel system.

Yup. That's the best and hardest way. Return style fuel system and fuel pressure regulator with larger injectors.

Street Level Performance is making a return and selling them all ready converted all you need to do is hook up lines and install the rail and your set. They are finishing up testing them as we speak. Thats what I think im going to wait around for.

ok like I said I do not need bigger injectors due to the two extra and the stand alone fuel computer tha comes with them. I have searched and came to this conclusion. I will run an inline fuel pump, bigger intank fuel pump and a vafc II. That will make it ready for 16 thanks for your info though. no need to go to all that trouble. there is always ways around the obviouse you just have to research.
